Database / RocksDB Basics Interview Questions
Who developed RocksDB?
RocksDB was developed by Facebook, now Meta, as an evolution of Google's earlier LevelDB project.
- Originally forked from LevelDB and heavily extended to meet Facebook's own performance and scale requirements
- Released as an open-source project, widely adopted well beyond its original creator
- Actively maintained and used as a foundational storage engine inside many other well-known systems
Its origin as an internal Facebook project explains much of its design focus, handling extremely high write throughput at scale on fast storage hardware.
